Driven by an indefinable yearning, you search and seek, and don't even know what you are longing for. But still the longing is unquenchable, for "The heart of man" was made to hold infinity. Two songs, the first was put to music by the band Lamia.

I seek I know not what or why,It makes me scan the silent skyAnd roam beside the raging sea,Through lonely woods, o'er heath and lea.

Oh do not ask me what it is,I cannot know or tell myself;Like crows in autumn, wind in leaves,Or winged whispering of an elf.It touched like rays of moonlight dim,It looked like wind and smelt like sun,And struck me sadly as the endOf something that has just begun.

It called me to a distant landOf whispering trees beyond the sea,And so I followed far away,And there I searched for hint and key.But when I came the trees were dead,And wailing over heath and leaThief Time forever lightly fledAnd silenced things no more to be.

A wind is playing through my soulLike sunlight fingers on the stringsOf Ariel's harp, an incense flameBurned under water, a bell that ringsWithout its tongue, the shadow ofA lover's cry which softly dripsFrom full moon, passion's witness once,Dissolving on the starving lips.

And still I seek, and slowly dawnsThe thought that might at last be true:My heart was meant to seek untilI rend the veil and turn to You.
